Revolutionary HIGH OUTPUT™ Performance
At the core of the Milwaukee M18™ FORGE battery platform is breakthrough design powered by the latest cell technology. The REDLITHIUM FORGE 12.0 Ah and 8.0 Ah batteries use Tabless Cell technology to deliver industry-leading peak power output, superior heat dissipation, and COOL-CYCLE™ thermal regulation for cooler operation and faster charging.
Prefer something lighter? The REDLITHIUM FORGE 6.0 Ah battery features Pouch Cell technology, offering the same performance benefits in a slimmer, more ergonomic form—ideal for overhead work or tight spaces.
Why FORGE Is Different
It all starts inside. The Milwaukee battery FORGE series features: larger copper contacts, reinforced connectors, and intelligent electronics that deliver sustained high current. You get maximum power with minimal heat build-up—even under extreme loads. The Milwaukee FORGE 6.0 Ah battery offers the same output as the M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT™ HD 12.0 Ah in a smaller, lighter design.
Full-System Compatibility
FORGE batteries are fully compatible with all Milwaukee M18 tools, delivering both runtime and elite performance. They integrate seamlessly, while the Milwaukee M12™ tools continue to handle compact, lower-power tasks. Together, the full line of Milwaukee batteries gives professionals the flexibility to power every application, big or small.
Forge: Built for Jobsite Demands
Advanced overload protection, thermal safeguards, and rugged construction make the Milwaukee FORGE batteries the highest-performing pack Milwaukee has ever made—ready to power you through the toughest jobs with total confidence.
